What held you back

Pattern Base Leg — Heading -14.1 ° at 40 %, −1.30 points
Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 82 kt at 47 %, −1.17 points
Departure Climb 2 — scored 90.00 %, −1.11 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 62 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 82 kt, 20 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 62 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 82 kt in a distance of 665 m, which accounted for 26% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. As the aircraft lifted off, it entered a left-hand traffic pattern, navigating the initial turn in a distance of 1 nm in 14 seconds.

The aircraft continued to follow the standard traffic pattern, executing a left-hand downwind turn at an angle of 47.9° to the runway, followed by a downwind leg of 3 nm in 121 seconds. The base leg turn was then initiated, with the aircraft turning at an angle of 30.1° to the runway. The final approach was made from the west, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 415 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown distance of 58 m and a speed of 42 kt, resulting in a touchdown rate of -149 fpm. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline, the landing was otherwise uneventful.

The Cessna Skyhawk completed its traffic pattern and landed safely on runway 11, having utilized a total distance of 8 nm and consumed 2 kg of fuel in the process. The flight duration was 5 minutes, during which the aircraft operated in a stable and controlled manner, adhering to standard traffic pattern procedures. The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 103.0° at 1 nm and 415 ft above ground level (agl), with the runway threshold height well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 45 kt was significantly below the target, necessitating careful control to avoid stalling the aircraft.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a good touchdown distance of 58 m, with a corresponding touchdown speed of 42 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -149 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.7 m, which may be attributed to minor deviations in control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.

The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing phase was satisfactory, with a score of 96.5%. The crew's ability to maintain control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases was evident, despite the minor deviation from the centreline. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the favorable weather conditions, which minimized the impact of any potential crosswind or tailwind effects.
